Clete, you keep hinting at a belief that the acceleration was instantaneous. The HPT does not assert that it was. Consider the rail-mounted guns developed by the Germans in WW2. They were designed to launch projectiles long ranges without vaporizing them in the process. They did so by...

Because of the context. Because you say so? Either make the argument or don't. I'm not going to do it for you.

Because I have a Hebrew interlinear... Duh. If you want to say that the meaning changed, then you can only say that the KJV translators mistranslated the word, while the other translations translated it correctly. If you think there is some argument that needs to be made, then make the...

Yes as in, "yes, I (TheDarkSideOfTheMoon), believe that God, before the foundation of the world, predestined all things (including the lying spirit coming with his lie)," OR yes as in, "yes, I (TheDarkSideOfTheMoon), do not believe that God, before the foundation of the world, predestined all...
